2022 NDSU Soybean Symposium Presentations - Full Playlist
Keynote Speaker
Dr. Jianxin Ma, professor of agronomy at Purdue University, has received international recognition for his innovative research on plant comparative genomics and soybean genetics. His research at Purdue includes comparative and evolutionary genomics, genetic dissection of complex traits, and genetic diversity and germplasm enhancement. He has authored over a hundred publications in high-impact journals, including Science, Nature Biotechnology, Nature Genetics and Nature Plants and has served on the editorial board of several other scientific journals. In addition, Dr. Ma is the primary inventor on three patents and patent applications.
